B.Voc. (Renewable Energy Technology & Management) (Academic Year 201516 Onwards)
(h) Credit Based Semester System (CBSS): Under the CBSS, the requirement for awarding a degree
or diploma or certificate is prescribed in terms of number of credits to be completed by the
students.
(i) Credit Point: It is the product of grade point and number of credits for a course.
(j) Credit: B. Voc programme follows a credit semester system and each Course has an
associated credit. It is a unit by which the course work is measured. It determines the number
of hours of instructions required per week. One credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching
(lecture or tutorial) or two hours of practical work/field work per week
(k) Grade: Uses ten point grading system suggested by UGC to assess the students.
(l) B. Voc Consortium: A University level committee consisting Dean, Science faculty, Two
Professors nominated by Vice Chancellor, and Coordinator.
(m) B. Voc Advisory Committee: A University level committee set-up for effective
governance and coordination of the courses under the B.Voc. scheme. The Advisory
Committee will include the representative(s) of the affiliating university, One
Academician, One Expert ,one representative of relevant industries, relevant Sector
Skills Council(s), UGC nominee, State Higher Education nominee, Registrar and Nodal
Officer /Coordinator of B.Voc Scheme. The Vice Chancellor of the university will be the
Chairman of the Advisory Committee and the Director CSD/Nodal Officer/Coordinator
will be the Member-Secretary.
6. Preamble of the course B.Voc. (Renewable Energy Technology & Management) Energy is a vital input for the development and economic growth of a country. The growth for
energy sector is critical for socioeconomic development particularly for rural areas. In the
Indian context, it is a great challenge to provide affordable energy services to the population.
Renewable energy contributes to energy supply reserves and the environment. India is
fortunate in having a lot of resources of solar, hydro, wind, wave, and tidal hydro-electric
energy. Development must, however, occur with proper attention to the technical, economic
and operational constraints associated with increase in penetration of such technology.
The development of energy systems is also constrained by the depletion of fossil fuel, local envi
ronmental impacts and the problem of global warming and associated climate change. The ener
gy sector is in transition and there is significant need to understand the various energy
conversion and efficient utilization process. In view of the problem of climate change and scar

city of fossil fuels, the field of energy engineering offers significant challenges and opportu
nities.
The Bachelor of Vocation in Programme in Renewable Energy Technology and Management
prepare the students in theoretical as well as practical aspects of renewable energy
technologies, energy conservation, and management. This multi-disciplinary integrated
programme train the students not only in renewable energy technologies and its
implementation but also in equally important areas of energy infrastructure, rational use of
energy, energy policies and regulations, and energy-environment interface etc. The programme
exhibits its uniqueness fostering the much sought-after leadership skills through the
management energy courses. Thus, the programme enables the students to tackle practical
problems of design, development, deployment in the industry, and to pursue academics as well
as frontiers of research. The objective of the programme is to provide specialist manpower
to meet the challenges of the energy sector.
